Charles Blackwell

Charles Blackwell has previously published a book of poetry. His love of the natural world led him to learn the skills of primitive survival and technology. That led him to study the practices of awareness and observation. The worlds of physical and spiritual awareness blend, and magic can happen in everyday life when given permission. The beauty of the natural world is an inspiration for many of his writings.

The inspiration for this book was a story shared with him by the renowned author, naturalist, and survival expert Tom Brown Jr., who encouraged him to write this book and share some of the magic that can happen. Charles studied with him for 35 years and was an Elder for the Tracker School that Tom built. He assisted at classes and supported Tom in many ways over those years. Through him, the worlds of nature were opened, and Charles’ journey of awareness and nature connection progressed.
